Building with LEGO

I've always felt that I need to do a LEGO project, but I never got around to it.

LEGO's are very expensive, so I started to look around for sources of cheap LEGO's. They don't seem to show up much at garage sales and thrift stores. People seem to keep them, and I guess they don't take up much room.Ebay is like a box of chocolates; You never know what you are going to get.

Looking at new sets, the cheapest I found were:6177 LEGO Basic Bricks DeluxeThis set contains 650 bricks for $25. It was available at my local LEGO store so I didn't have to pay shipping and got instant gratification. The picture above is of the set all put together.5578 LEGO Basic Bricks Large500 bricks for $20 looks good too.
